Fine Jewelry: Designer Earrings
Marco Bicego re-invents the age-old goldsmithing techniques handed down to him by his father. At the age of 22, he started working in the family business, where he developed a passion for designing gold jewelry. In 2000 he created the brand that bears his name, which blends old world Italian craftsmanship with tradition, passion, and imagination. Brightly colored gemstones set in 18K yellow gold are his specialty.

Bicego began his training as a gold artisan at his father's fifty-year old atelier in the Veneto region of Italy. He began to experiment with design: blending urban-inspired lines with ethnic motifs and merging natural forms with artistic outlines. This pure craftsmanship can be found in his manipulation of gold; transforming this luxurious element into spirals and hand-engraved beads.
